Why is practicing righteousness important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Practicing righteousness demonstrates that one is born again and aligns with God's will for His people (1 John 2:29).

Practicing righteousness is fundamentally important for Christians as it reflects their new identity in Christ as those who are born of Him. 1 John 2:29 states that everyone who practices righteousness is born of God. This means that true Christians should not be characterized by habitual sin; instead, they seek to live a life that pleases God and aligns with His commandments. It underscores a transformation in the believer's heart wherein the desire to do good becomes innate. This practice acts as both evidence of salvation and a means of sanctification, continuously drawing the believer closer to God's likeness.
